THE GARDEN 

In a world of advanced climate change and deep class divides, a passionate plant breeder tries to secure his family’s future by developing genetically enhanced seeds while working for a controlling socialite who wants to create her own Garden of Eden.

Spanning ideas of environmental and social justice, THE GARDEN illuminates society’s grievous chasms between abundance and need to depict how individual gain in an interconnected world is impossible, and that mutual care is essential to collective well-being.
